Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announces that Syrians are finally seeing a glimmer of hope after 13 long years of civil war.
The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, which had been in power since 1963, marks a significant turning point in Syria’s history.
For the first time in years, people are smiling on the streets of Aleppo, Homs, and Damascus. Syrians are returning to their homes after years of displacement, and the Turkish Embassy in Damascus has resumed operations after 12 years.
The international community is coming together to support Syria’s transition, with the Arab Contact Group reiterating its support for a Syrian-led political transition. The Turkish foreign minister has also attended a meeting on the future of Syria in Jordan.
As Syrians look to the future with hope, Erdogan’s words echo a sense of optimism: “After 13 years, our Syrian brothers and sisters are looking to their future with hope.”
